Discursive designis an emerging field of design where artifacts are crafted in order to convey ideas rather than necessarily to provide aesthetic or functional affordances. As such they have been referred to as tools for thinking—"While 'good design' is often professed to be unobtrusive, intuitive, invisible, and something that does not make the user think too much, discursive design instead actually targets the intellect.
